There are few characters on Wall Street who I like more than Carl “give me two seats on your board” Icahn. This morning he bid $76.50 for fucking Clorox. I find that so hilarious, as if he knew how to run a large company like CLX. But that’s not the point. We’ve seen Carl evolve from buying up small bullshit companies to fucking Clorox. I hope he wins the bid and fires everyone, just for sport.
Early going, everything is in place for a monster short squeeze. BHP is bidding for HK. Carl is telling CLX to go fuck themselves and GOOG is ripping off heads and bowling with them. I will likely be putting some money to work this morning.

‘ Carl “give me two seats on your board” Icahn. ‘
at least he does it better than,”i know nothing about retail” “eddie lampert”.
He knocked it out of the park on the KMart bankruptcy. Nobody realized the actual value of the real estate on which they sat.
Morsels of fine points. Had never considered that. I also wonder how Best Buy was allowed to conquer Circuit City. Technically, I think CC’s still “operational”. Lots of these mono”poly”, options in generic choice businesses play out like a mystery at times.
To wait for the fade, or not wait for the fade…that is the question?
Anyone putting wagers that Icahn pulls his bid eventually?
that’s his m.o. he’s a large shareholder of clx anyway. the best pump and dump strategy yet.
If greenmail was still legal you would never hear anything about these “takeovers”. Give the dude credit, he can change with the times.
Another thing, if this was some shady Chinese Burrito there would be a hit piece posted on Muddy Waters within 15 minutes of this announcement. But since it’s CLX and Icahn it’s OK.
Transports are breaking down
Just sold out of my last WNR. All said, it ended up being a slight net loss since I panicked in the 14’s and dumped a load. Too much morning coffee makes me feel emotions. I try to tell myself it was just an aside play move, but then there is no such thing as “play” money. I shall heed the Fly’s trading disclaimers. I will stick to my own strategy.
Carl is a bulldog.
Bye bye BAC. Just give me 4 more cents.
